Top Things to Do in Michigan's Traverse Area
Traverse area attractions
For more than 100 years, the landscape along the northern shore of Lake Michigan has drawn vacationers with its glittering inland lakes, band of golden sand dunes and Caribbean-like expanse of Lake Michigan.
Today, Traverse City (population: 14,911) is the hub, but the considerably smaller towns of Charlevoix, Petoskey and Harbor Springs all provide great vacation stops, too. Click ahead to find out about some of our favorite attractions in the Traverse area, including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (pictured).

Winery tours
Vineyards flourish on the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas, just outside Traverse City. Find trail maps online, and stop in for tastings or tours at 20-plus wineries. (231) 271-7100; lpwines.com | wineriesofoldmission.com
One of our favorites is Two Lads Winery on Old Mission Peninsula. (231) 223-7722; 2lwinery.com
Pictured: Willow Vineyards in Suttons Bay. (231) 271-4810; willowvineyardwine.com
National Cherry Festival
Cherries rule in Traverse City, where this summertime festival has celebrated the local bounty since 1926. Lake Michigan makes a sweeping backdrop for storybook small-town moments: a cherry-pit-spitting contest, pie make-and-bake, 15K race, live music, parades, fireworks, the National Cherry Queen coronation and more. In early July. (800) 968-3380; cherryfestival.org
Traverse City's food scene
If Disney World had a Foodland, it might look a little like Traverse City. Too-cute-to-be-true storefronts line downtown's Front Street. Kids lick American Spoon Foods gelato ((888) 735-6700; spoon.com), and tourists graze on cherry-flavor everything at Cherry Republic. (231) 932-9205; cherryrepublic.com
The small farmers market is a tableau of gorgeous produce. Farm-fresh food headlines most menus—a sampler at Trattoria Stella (pictured) ((231) 929-8989; stellatc.com) or raclette cheese at Martha's Leelanau Table. (231) 271-2344; marthasleelanautable.com
Lake Michigan glitters, orchards blanket the hills, and everyone talks--no, gushes--about the food.
60-Second Video: Traverse City
Take a peek at what makes Traverse City a top foodie getaway—great wineries, eateries and attractions.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
As if the name wasn't enticing enough, these 400-foot-tall sand dunes are also truly gorgeous. The 35-mile lakeshore includes North and South Manitou islands, accessible by ferry from Leland (26 miles northwest of Traverse City). Visitors can climb the dunes, enjoy the overlooks or explore a restored logging village. (231) 326-4700; nps.gov/slbe
Bike trails
Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation (TART) Trail This system encompasses 11 paved miles for walking and biking along Grand Traverse Bay and connects to other nearby trail systems. (231) 941-4300; traversetrails.org
Little Traverse Wheelway A 26-mile paved bicycle and jogging trail traces the shore of Little Traverse Bay. (231) 348-8280; trailscouncil.org
Didn't bring wheels? Brick Wheels in Traverse City rents bicycles; you can also shop for new gear, get repairs, or ask for info on local recreational areas and sporting events. (231) 947-4274; brickwheels.com

Clinch Park Beach
You'll find public beaches all along the shore, but this 1,500-foot beach and marina is particularly convenient, just a couple blocks from downtown Traverse City. Tall ships bob on Grand Traverse Bay, a train chugs past the parking lot and carefully tended flowerbeds border the soft sand. (231) 922-4903; traversecity.com

Dennos Museum Center
On the Northwestern Michigan College campus in Traverse City, exhibits include an extensive collection of Inuit art as well as contemporary works by Michigan artists. (231) 995-1055; dennosmuseum.org
Tall ship Manitou
Visitors sail aboard a two-masted schooner, a replica of an 1800s ship, on West Grand Traverse Bay. Two-hour theme cruises include ice cream, microbrew tastings, wine-tasting and evening picnics. (800) 678-0383; tallshipsailing.com
Some of Michigan's most impressive golf courses attract players to the Traverse area. These include The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa (pictured); the aptly named Jack Nicklaus layout started the golf boom here more than two decades ago (grandtraverseresort.com). The Legend, designed by Arnold Palmer, is one of four courses at Shanty Creek Resorts, 37 miles northeast of Traverse City (shantycreek.com). Three courses at Bay Harbor Golf Club (bayharborgolf.com), 63 miles northeast near Petoskey, offer a variety of challenges—including the wind off Lake Michigan.

Cherry Bowl Drive-In
For a time-warp trip and an affordable double feature of current-run movies, take a 35-minute drive out of Traverse City to the Cherry Bowl Drive-In. Open seasonally, it promises good clean fun for all ages. (The owner even trolls the parking lot to keep an eye on frisky teens.) The diner sells popcorn made in the original 1953 popper and topped with real butter. (231) 325-3413; cherrybowldrivein.com
Little Traverse Bay towns
Sixty miles north of Traverse City, travelers will find a mellow atmosphere in Little Traverse Bay. Charlevoix, Petoskey (pictured) and Harbor Springs all have beaches, but their biggest draws are charming downtowns lined with upscale shops, galleries and restaurants.
When the lift bridge rises and blocks passage through Charlevoix, drivers park and browse along Bridge Street. Petoskey's six-block Gaslight Shopping District catered to 1890s steamship passenger; today, its stores stock resort wear, home accessories and works by local artists. Harbor Springs retains a gracious air; guests at Stafford's Pier Restaurant can gaze at the classic wooden boat The Pointer, which once ferried wealthy summer residents to their mansions. (231) 526-6201; staffords.com
More information: (800) 367-8557; visitcharlevoix.com | (800) 845-2828; petoskeyarea.com
Beaver Island
A two-and-a-half-hour ferry ride from Charlevoix carries visitors northwest across the lake to an island as relaxed as any in the Caribbean. (888) 446-4095; bibco.com
Bicycles and in-line skaters cruise Main Street in St. James, the only town and home to about a dozen shops. This remote island has a proud Irish heritage, nearly empty beaches and great biking. (231) 448-2505; beaverisland.org
Winter adventures
Downhill skiing, cross-country skiing and walking along the shore of frozen Lake Michigan are some of the activities that draw adventuresome tourists to the Traverse area in winter.
Among popular options: Crystal Mountain, 30 miles southwest of Traverse City. Founded in 1956 as a community ski area, the mountain now is home to Crystal Mountain Resort and Spa. Ski out the back door of Alpine village-style lodging (crystalmountain.com).
Both Shanty Creek (shantycreek.com), 37 miles northeast of Traverse City, and Boyne Mountain (boyne.com), 57 miles northeast of Traverse City, offer a host of lodging and recreation options, including skiing, dog sledding and snowshoeing.
Traverse City Film Festival
Founded by Flint native and Oscar-winning filmmaker Michael Moore ("Bowling for Columbine"), this Michigan film festival is one of the largest in the Midwest. Catch foreign films, American independents and documentaries at eight venues throughout Traverse City. During the festival's six-day run, classic films are shown on a large inflatable screen in waterfront Open Space Park, free of charge. Bring lawn chairs and blankets—the outdoor viewing is general admission. (231) 392-1134; traversecityfilmfest.org

First inhabited by Austronesian people, Taiwan became home to Han immigrants beginning in the late Ming Dynasty (17th century). In 1895, military defeat forced China's Qing Dynasty to cede Taiwan to Japan, which governed Taiwan for 50 years. Taiwan came under Chinese Nationalist control after World War II. In the four years leading to the communist victory on the mainland in 1949, 2 million Nationalists fled to Taiwan and established a government under the 1947 constitution drawn up for all of China. The Nationalist government established authoritarian rule under martial law in 1948. Beginning in the late 1970s, the ruling authorities gradually democratized and incorporated the local population within the governing structure. This process expanded rapidly in the 1980s, with the founding of the first opposition party (the Democratic Progressive Party or DPP) in 1986 and the lifting of martial law in 1987. Taiwan held its first direct presidential election in 1996. In 2000, Taiwan underwent its first peaceful transfer of power from the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang or KMT) to the DPP. Throughout this period, the island prospered and became one of East Asia's economic "Tigers." The dominant political issues continue to be management of sensitive relations between Taiwan and China - specifically the question of Taiwan's sovereignty - as well as domestic priorities for economic reform and growth.

"Is everything a conspiracy? No, just the important stuff." – Jeff Wells, Rigorous Intuition.
Eric Blair
Activist Post
It seems that the establishment media has intensified their attack on "conspiracy theorists". It's long been their feeble attempt to discredit anyone who dares question the "official" narrative of events. But why the sudden deluge of attacks?
First, what does conspiracy theory even mean?
con·spir·a·cy – An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
the·o·ry – A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena.
con·spir·a·cy the·o·ry – The belief that the government or a covert organization is responsible for an event that is unusual or unexplained.
In short, a conspiracy theorist seeks the full facts about covert subversive acts, and unusual or unexplained events. Put another way, when the story of an event doesn't add up, theories arise to explain what really happened.
Given the abominable track record of the establishment media, it's become more common to question everything we hear rather than blindly swallowing their script.
As the initial reporting of the Sandy Hook school massacre was so scattered, and policymakers immediately seized the crisis to promote a long desired agenda of strict gun control, it's no wonder that some have questioned the authenticity of the "official" version of events.
What is the official version, anyway? It's changed a thousand times. They want us to believe a lone-wolf psycho used an assault rifle to kill 26 innocent children and teachers.
Never mind that it has come out that a "rifle" never entered the school and what they found in the trunk of Lanza's car was actually a shotgun. Never mind how he got through the new $300,000 surveillance/security system while wearing a mask and armed to the teeth. Never mind the reports of multiple shooters and camouflage-clad strangers arrested in the woods. Don't worry about the Emergency Response Team (ERT) that was simulating this exact same school shooter scenario on the same day in a nearby town. And, don't ask why there's a strange lack of injured survivors, credible witnesses, or anyone who even knew Adam Lanza. And, finally, how would gun control have prevented this event?
I must be an evil, heartless conspiracy theorist who pisses on the graves of those killed that day because I'd like answers to these questions. At least that's what the establishment media wants you to believe about me and others who desire better explanations than what we've been given.
Media figures, particularly CIA intern Anderson Cooper of CNN, is using his bully pulpit to demonize anyone who questions the Sandy Hook event and lump them all into the most radical theory that says no one was murdered that day. The fact that he dedicated nearly an entire show to disputing a conspiracy theory, in and of itself is telling.
Meanwhile, AC was caught pulling a 360 on viewers by showing "active-shooter drill footage" from another school as if it was the breaking news feed of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
But, as Cooper struggles to attract 200K viewers per night to his pulpit, an amateur video questioning the anomalies of Sandy Hook received an astonishing 10 million views in one week.
Therein lies the primary reason the establishment can no longer ignore conspiracy theorists, because they're now the majority. According to a recent Fairleigh Dickinson University poll a majority of Americans (63%) believe at least one political conspiracy theory.
Dan Cassino, a professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University who helped conduct the poll said "People tend to believe that where there's smoke, there's fire – so the more smoke they see, the more likely they are to believe that something is going on."
Regarding 9/11, Cassino says; "It's easy to discount conspiracy theories about 9/11, but this isn't some fringe belief. Trutherism is alive and well in America, and is only going to get stronger as memories of the actual event fade."
Another likely motivation for the recent attacks on conspiracy theorists is because a staggering majority no longer trusts the corporate media or the government. Recent polling showed record level (60%) of distrust for the media, and Congress is less popular than cockroaches with a dismal 9% favorable rating.
It's clear that the dying corporate media wants their viewers to despise anyone who questions the official narrative of any "event that is unusual or unexplained" in a desperate attempt to keep viewers locked to their "trusted" news channel.
I, for one, am proud to question everything I hear in the so-called news. And the bigger they hype a story, the more I question it. As professor Cassino said, "where there's smoke, there's fire."
Usually someone, or a group of someones, clearly benefits from a certain subversive act. As such, they seem to have much more of a motivation than some lone wolf who kills himself after committing unexplainable atrocities or some cave dweller claiming to hate our freedom.
Is this always the case? Of course not. But the more hype the establishment puts behind a questionable event, the more reason there is to find out cui bono — who benefits?
Below is a great video dissertation by James Corbett about conspiracies and the media response to them:

Everyone naturally wants healthy, glossy hair because it is the "crowning glory" of the human body. However, due to several causes, including pollution, lifestyle choices, and aging, people frequently experience hair thinning, dandruff, and balding, which makes people sought for means to get fixed.
Using onion juice for hair growth may seem unusual, like using sunlight for hair growth, but it definitely works. Hair growth demands perseverance and dedication. There are many methods to utilize onions to improve hair.
Due to the sulphur in onion juice, it is quite good at preventing hair loss. It is a key element in strengthening your hair. The sulphur may aid in the promotion of collagen, which aids in the growth of additional hair follicles and the cleaning of the skin.
The antioxidant catalase found in onion juice aids in lowering hydrogen peroxide levels at the roots of the hair. By lowering the level of hydrogen peroxide in your hair, you can stop hair from going gray.
Onion juice moisturizes dry, brittle hair because it contains a variety of micronutrients. In addition, it has flavonoids, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory qualities that boost the blood flow to hair roots.
First off, avoid using this treatment if you are allergic to onions. You can still experience allergic reactions to natural remedies even though they do not have the often frightening side effects of prescription medications. Applying onions on your scalp can cause an allergic reaction if you can't eat them. Onion juice may also irritate skin that is already sensitive. Be careful as you go.
Second, make sure to keep your eyes away from any contact. Alliinase, an enzyme found in onions, causes the tears to flow when cut. Apply carefully.
The procedure is straightforward for people who want to experiment with using onion juice to enhance hair health or encourage regrowth.
The steps to making onion juice are as follows:
Many people wonder can Hair Grow Back after Thinning using onion? Onion juice may work well for some people's hair conditioning or regrowth but not for others. Additionally, using onion juice won't cause your hair to grow quickly. Applying the onion juice twice daily for several weeks is necessary to observe if positive benefits may be obtained.

text: Back Keeping Blood Sugar in Check The words "blood" and "sugar" are a single phrase for millions of Americans: "blood sugar." The official term is glucose, and keeping it within a certain range occupies the minds of people with diabetes daily--sometimes even hourly. People with diabetes either do not produce insulin, do not produce enough insulin or their body's cells don't use the insulin produced efficiently. Insulin is necessary for the cells to use sugar from food as fuel. Insulin allows sugar carried by the blood to enter cells. Without sufficient insulin, the sugar stays in the blood and the level of blood sugar rises, the cells don't have energy for normal activities, and, over time, damage can occur to heart, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels, and nerves. Keeping blood sugar levels within a prescribed range reduces the risk of long-term complications of diabetes. This can be achieved by most people with diabetes through close monitoring, diet, exercise, and drug therapy, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The diseases Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes require regular monitoring of blood sugar, careful attention to diet and exercise, and usually medication. Type 1 diabetes was once commonly known as juvenile diabetes because it usually develops in children and adolescents. It is an autoimmune disease that destroys the beta islet cells of the pancreas. These are the cells that produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes requires that a person take insulin in the form of shots and makes up only about 5 to 10 percent of the people with diagnosed diabetes. Type 1 is more common among whites than nonwhites; some northern European countries have high rates of type 1. The reason for this difference is not known. Type 2 diabetes was commonly known as adult onset diabetes. It is more common than type 1. Ninety to 95 percent of people diagnosed with diabetes have type 2. In type 2, the body either fails to make enough insulin or it does not properly use the insulin it makes. The majority of people with type 2 are overweight or obese. Scores of medical studies have linked prolonged obesity with the development of type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes often have elevated blood pressure and high levels of blood lipids (cholesterol). As more children and teenagers become overweight, type 2 diabetes is becoming more common in young people. Race also plays a role in type 2 diabetes, which is more common among African-Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, and American Indians than whites. 'Tight' control of blood sugar Chronically high blood glucose levels can cause damage to some internal organs and tissues. Diabetes is associated with long-term complications that affect almost every part of the body. The disease often leads to blindness, heart and blood vessel disease, stroke, kidney failure, amputations, and nerve damage. Uncontrolled diabetes can complicate pregnancy, and birth defects are more common in babies born to women with diabetes. The overall goal of treatment is to keep blood sugar levels as close to normal range as possible to prevent these complications. Diet, exercise, and regular measurement of blood glucose levels are important for tight control. If insulin is part of the treatment plan, insulin doses may have to be adjusted daily depending on blood glucose levels. If oral diabetes medication is part of the plan, a health care provider may alter doses depending on home blood glucose levels taken over a period of time, or if symptoms of too low a blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or too high a blood sugar (hyperglycemia) occur. People with diabetes can check their blood sugar levels at home using blood glucose monitors, small computerized machines that analyze a small drop of blood usually obtained from a prick of the finger. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends blood glucose levels be checked at home for anyone: Taking insulin or diabetes pills On intensive insulin therapy Having a hard time controlling blood glucose levels Having severe low blood glucose levels or ketones from high blood glucose levels Having low blood glucose levels without the usual warning signs Home monitoring can be done as often as needed. Some common schedules are several times a day (usually for people with type 1); or once a day or even once a week (usually for people with type 2); or when the person with diabetes is ill (illness can affect blood sugar levels). Different schedules or a combination of these may be prescribed by a health care provider. At routine office visits, health care providers can check the average blood sugar level for the past three months by doing a hemoglobin A1C test. This test is analyzed in a laboratory and requires a tube of blood drawn from a vein. A few disadvantages of tight glucose control are a slightly increased risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and some weight gain, according to a study by the NIDDK. But the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term complications, says NIDDK. People with diabetes often get hypoglycemic because of too much insulin, too much diabetes medication, or a combination of other factors, such as not eating enough before exercise. Diet Although people with diabetes should monitor their diets, the approach for a person with type 1 diabetes is different than the approach for a person with type 2. People with type 1 diabetes should coordinate their diets with their insulin regimen. The goal is to match how much insulin they take to how much insulin they need, which is largely determined by meal size and content. Thus, it is important for a person with type 1 to understand the impact of specific foods on glucose levels. Previously, people with type 1 diabetes had to plan meals around when they took their insulin, but the emphasis now is on tailoring shots around eating habits. Frequent monitoring of blood sugar allows people with this type of diabetes to adjust their insulin dose to match glucose levels and make corrections if necessary. Regular eating patterns are needed to maintain tight control. People who are overweight or obese are more prone to develop type 2 diabetes. A person with this type of diabetes should reduce his or her calorie, fat, and salt intake, and increase his or her physical activity and exercise. Even modest weight loss (5 to 10 pounds) may lower blood sugar levels to a range where medications become unnecessary. People with diabetes should consult with a dietitian about proper diet. People with diabetes can also use the diabetes food pyramid, which consists of six sections for food groups. Eat some foods from each group each day. The number of servings you should have each day from these six groups varies depending on your goals, and caloric and nutrition needs. Fats, sweets, and alcohol do not have to be eliminated from the diet of a person with diabetes, but they must be consumed in moderation. If a diabetic drinks alcohol, he or she must also be careful since alcohol intake can lead to abrupt swings in blood sugar levels. People with diabetes who have frequent hypoglycemia can carry around sweets to counteract hypoglycemia if their glucose starts to drop, according to the ADA. Fruit juice, raisins, candy, or a glass of milk can work as well as fast-acting glucose tablets at raising sugar levels within about 10 to 15 minutes. Exercise Exercise lowers glucose levels and boosts the body's sensitivity to insulin, countering the insulin resistance common in type 2 diabetes. Even though people with either type of diabetes benefit from exercise, people with type 2 diabetes typically experience a number of benefits because of their disease's relationship to obesity. Exercise consumes glucose and forces cells to draw on the glucose stored in the liver and muscles. Because both insulin and exercise metabolize blood sugar, people with diabetes should be careful with insulin administration too close to exercise, because it may cause a hypoglycemic reaction. Some oral medications for type 2 diabetes can also cause blood sugar to drop too low during exercise. Check with your doctor about your medications' effects with exercise. Generally, people with diabetes should spend at least 30 minutes doing aerobic exercise three or four times a week. The best times are usually one to three hours after eating, when blood sugar levels are highest. Anyone with diabetes should talk to his or her doctor before beginning or changing an exercise regimen. Latest drugs Treatment options for diabetes have "exploded" recently. According to the ADA, in addition to sulfonylureas, drugs that have been around since the 1950s, new classes of oral medication offer different courses of action, depending on a person's needs: Biguanides. These drugs decrease the amount of glucose produced and released by the liver. Thiazolidinediones. These drugs help insulin increase the absorption of glucose in muscle and fat, and reduce the amount of glucose produced and released by the liver. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. These drugs work by blocking the breakdown of starches in the intestine so the body does not absorb them into the blood. Meglitinides. These drugs stimulate the pancreas to release insulin. DPP-4 inhibitors. DPP-inhibitors increase insulin production by preventing the breakdown of a substance that is naturally made in the body. DDP-4 inhibitors allow this substance to remain active longer in the blood helping to decrease blood sugar levels when they are elevated. Oral combination therapy. Since the drugs can have different effects, combinations of the medications are sometimes used. For example, a biguanide and a sulfonylurea may be combined. Drug combinations can be helpful in situations where one drug is not providing enough blood glucose control. Two injectable medications are also available for people with diabetes. Pramlintide is approved to treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It's a form of a hormone normally produced in the beta cells that helps to maintain blood sugar levels. Exenatide is also approved to treat type 2 diabetes. It lowers blood glucose by increasing the secretion of insulin. Talk with your doctor if you have questions about the new medications that might be right for you.

Samarra Minrate built in 852 AD
While the point itself may not have more than Abbasid houses under the ground, it is adjacent to the palace of Sur Isa, the remains of which can be seen in the photo. While the initial construction might or might not touch the palace, accompanying activities will certainly spread over it.Sur Isa can be identified with the palace of al-Burj, built by the
Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil, probably in 852-3 (Northedge, Historical Topography of Samarra, pp 125-127, 240). The palace is said to have cost 33 million dirhams, and was luxurious. Details are given by al-Shabushti, Kitab al-Diyarat.
Samarra was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO at the end of June. The barracks could easily have been built elsewhere, off the archaeological site.--

Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Jessica of My Baking Heart picked Parisian Apple Tartlet on page 319 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.
Sorry, my arms are really acting up so I can't type much tonight (need to go ice and rest them).
I made my delicious and super easy tarts with Trader Joe's all-butter puff pastry. Some TWD bakers made their own puff pastry! I don't want to make it myself because I seriously don't want know how much butter is in puff pastry. :)
Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! Thanks for a great pick, Jessica! For the recipe, buy Dorie's fantastic book or check out Jessica's blog, My Baking Heart.

HTC announced a new Android smartphone, the "new HTC One," at a press event Tuesday in New York City. The phone runs a new version of HTC's UI overlay, "Android with HTC Sense."
Inside, the phone has a quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor and 2GB of RAM. The device runs Android 4.1.2 (not 4.2 as we originally reported) Jelly Bean, skinned with HTC's Sense 5.0. It has a 4.7-inch 1080p screen.
The new version of Sense "delivers improvements on cameras and sound," said Jason Mackenzie, president of HTC. The new version includes a feature called "BlinkFeed" that threads updates from services of the user's choosing together into one interface. The feed is highly visual, presenting stories as a series of photos augmented by tiny captions.
The phone's body design includes two front-facing Beats Audio-certified stereo speakers, one above the phone's screen and one below. The microphone inside the phone features HDR recording. Sense also includes Sense TV, which allows users to control TVs from their smartphone (HTC did not further specify in the presentation how this is accomplished).
The HTC One uses an "UltraPixel camera," which HTC says captures 300 percent more light than normal smartphone cameras. HTC emphasized how the new design will help in low-light situations, stating that it helps prevent graininess in low-light photos.
Another camera feature, HTC Zoe, captures HD video and images simultaneously to help users capture images in fast-moving situations. HTC did not specify the resolution at which this feature captures images. Zoe can also automatically edit videos into a set of highlights and set the videos to music, as well as compose multiple shots into one photo.
The name of the phone builds on HTC's previous series of flagship phones, including the HTC One X and One S. The phone will come in both black and white, and it has a "zero-gap" seamless aluminum body, wherein the antenna is integrated into the shell of the phone.
In HTC's "largest rollout ever," the phone will launch in 80 countries and with 185 mobile operators and partners around the world in "late March," according to Mike Woodward, HTC's Americas president. In the US, the phone will launch with Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile, and it will be priced at $199 with a two-year contract.
HTC's event is currently in progress. We will update this article as more details become available.

Continuing of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) Competitions
The National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) is a nationally recognized high school academic competition that provides a forum for talented students to excel in science, mathematics and technology and introduces team members, their teacher/coaches, schools and communities to ocean sciences as an interdisciplinary field of study and a possible future career path. Established by the Consortium for Oceanographic Research and Education in 1998 (the Year of the Ocean), the program operates within a supportive learning community framework that involves the ocean research community in pre-college education and stimulates broad interest in and excitement about science and the oceans. The basic model for NOSB is that of a two-tiered timed competition in which pairs of four-student teams answer multiple-choice, short-answer and critical thinking questions within multiple categories related to the oceans. Each fall, over 400 participating high schools prepare their teams for 25 regional ocean sciences bowl competitions held across the United States in February and early March. Winners of these Regional Bowls advance to the national finals in late April. The current structure layers a rich array of year-round academic elements onto the basic competition framework and offers a range of program enhancements including summer internships and scholarships for NOSB alumni and opportunities for teacher professional development. Four regional bowls currently receive additional funding to expand recruitment efforts and provide mentoring and field trip experiences for students from racial, ethnic and economic groups underrepresented in the ocean sciences. CORE proposes to continue to administer and manage the National Ocean Sciences Bowl for the next five years (April 2007-March 2012). Funds are requested to add two new sites and expand the diversity initiative. To improve the credentials of the nation's teachers and informal educators, the proposal seeks funding for coach and regional coordinator professional development including a focus on the fundamental principles and concepts of ocean literacy recently developed by the ocean education community. An additional new element is a longitudinal study of educational and career paths that will assess the role that the program plays in encouraging talented students to enter the pipeline into ocean science careers and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) professions. By supporting and promoting the program's unique educational and experiential opportunities, all NOSB partners and sponsors contribute to helping our nation better prepare K-12 students in science and technology and identify and cultivate future scientists and technical experts.
Sailing Elementary Teachers Towards Ocean Literacy Using Familiar Water Resources
This project plans to increase elementary and undergraduate ocean science and related Great Lakes science literacy that aligns with the Michigan Curriculum, the national science standards, and the Ocean Literacy Essential Principles and Fundamental Concepts. We will 1) develop an elementary storybook and other elementary classroom materials that support ocean and Great Lakes literacy, 2) train pre-service elementary teachers to use this Storybook, 3) develop undergraduate activities that support the NOAA Education Plan and Ocean Literacy in teacher education courses at Eastern Michigan University (EMU), and 4) train teachers in Detroit and Dexter (MI) and Golden (CO) to use an elementary storybook and related activities that support Ocean Literacy. The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and oceanographic experts at EMU and the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) will partner with us to develop the elementary storybook. This elementary resource will be freely available to all teachers, via the internet (see http://www.windows2universe.org/teacher_resources/ocean_education/curre…). Our second objective is that teachers will relate ocean and Great Lakes science to theirs and their students' lives. We will accomplish this by 1) producing teacher-friendly web resources that make Great Lakes data from GLERL accessible for use by elementary teachers and 2) teaching pre-service teachers to interpret these data during undergraduate, inquiry activities at EMU. Our third objective is to measure environmental, ocean and Great Lakes literacy among pre-service teachers and their students before and after implementation of targeted instruction. We will accomplish this via 1) assessing pre- and in-service teachers' content knowledge and ability to apply content knowledge in ocean and Great Lakes science, 2) assessing elementary children for content knowledge and ability to apply content knowledge in ocean and Great Lakes science, 3) performance assessments of pre- and in-service teachers' abilities to interpret environmental data, 4) standardized tests of Earth Science content knowledge, and 5) surveys of pre- and in-service teachers' attitudes towards ocean literacy and supporting materials.

Liberal icon Frank eyes high-profile retirement
WASHINGTON — Even in retirement, Barney Frank promises to antagonize the right wing.
The 72-year-old Massachusetts representative ends a storied congressional career in less than three weeks. In a tenure that spanned more than three decades, Frank has helped lead the civil rights debate as one of the first openly gay elected officials, crafted a financial reform bill designed to prevent another global crisis and become a liberal hero for his willingness to clash with conservative critics.
His days on C-SPAN may be almost over. And he has already moved out of his Capitol Hill office and Washington apartment. But this man will not go away quietly.
Frank has retained Hollywood super-agent Ari Emanuel to ensure he is a paid fixture on cable television, the lecture circuit, in bookstores — and maybe the occasional sitcom or Broadway show. He has already sent his agent two book proposals, one offering a recipe for future liberal success and the other a "semi-memoir" about the history of the gay rights movement. And he leaves Washington with a particular disdain for Fox News.
"I'm hoping to get paid well to do what I do now for nothing," a relaxed Frank said last week from the anonymity of an unmarked temporary office across the street from the Capitol dome. Much of his staff is gone. He answers the phone himself with an abrupt, "Yeah?" And he's learning how to check his own email for the first time in his life.
Look for him soon on a television set near you.
Frank has little interest in hosting his own cable television show but plans to be a regular paid commentator on political programs. When asked for which network, he says he's only begun to narrow the field: "Not Fox," Frank declares with no hint of a smile.
"I have no interest in encouraging people to watch it," he says of Fox News. "They're so overwhelmingly biased that being a voice there a few minutes a week, an hour a week, it lends a legitimacy they don't deserve."
Frank's unapologetic criticism of conservatives has earned him a special place in the political arena. He has become a polarizing figure on the national stage celebrated by liberals and hated by conservatives. He dismisses the hatred as a validation of his effectiveness and calls it "a source of pride." But Frank's congressional career is dotted with colorful and cringe-worthy confrontations.
He earned particular notoriety for a remark during a 2009 town hall meeting at the height of the health care debate when asked about President Barack Obama's "Nazi policy."
"On what planet do you spend most of your time?" Frank quipped in a clash that became an instant YouTube sensation. "Ma'am, trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to have an argument with a dining room table — I have no interest in doing it."
But for all his politically charged YouTube hits, those familiar with Frank's work say he is best known locally for an extensive constituent services operation, which offered an effective bridge to the federal government. And he may be hated by many conservative activists, but Republican officials who know him best often respect his wit and effectiveness, according to Andy Card, who served in the Massachusetts legislature with Frank a generation ago and went on to become chief of staff for President George W. Bush.
"He is very smart and extremely funny. He and I don't share the same philosophy or the same party, but I think we have mutual respect. I know I have a lot of respect for him," said Card, who now serves as the dean of the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. "If he wants to work to legislate to get something done, he's very, very good at it. If he wants to be an impediment, he can be very, very good at that."
Indeed, in the policy arena, Card was most frustrated with Frank's work on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the federal housing agencies partly blamed for the recent collapse of the housing market. As the top Democrat on the House Committee on Financial Services, which he chaired from 2007 to 2011, Frank also led efforts to craft the financial regulatory bill dubbed "Dodd-Frank," which was attacked almost daily by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney as a job-crushing government overreach that hurts small banks.
Frank defends the sweeping law, well on its way to full implementation, as necessary to prevent another global financial crisis.
He announced last year that he wouldn't seek a 17th term. Frank will be succeeded by another potential political star, Rep. Joe Kennedy, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy.
Frank plans to make two homes in retirement, one along the southern Maine coast and the other in the Boston area. He hopes to teach at Harvard University and Harvard Law School next fall in addition to the paid public gigs his agent has already begun to arrange.
"If he comes to your town, go hear him. Because he's refreshing, he's as informed about such a broad of issues, and he is willing to say the things that other people are thinking," says Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman John Walsh. "We're going to miss him as an elected representative, but I'm excited that we probably won't lack an opportunity to hear from him."
One of Frank's first public appearances will come in New York City's theater scene the first Saturday in February. He says he's agreed to a walk-on part in "Fiorello!", a Broadway musical about former mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of New York.
He hasn't ruled out movie appearances, but says he's more likely to focus on being an active voice in the political arena.
"I had a request to do a cameo on a network TV show, but I didn't like the script," Frank says, declining to name the show. "So, if they won't change it, I won't do it. It was kind of demeaning to politicians."

5 things to know about Apple's stock split
Apple's resurgent stock may have as much to do with financial engi-neering as the company's tech-nological wizardry.
Monday marked Apple's first stock split in nine years, a move designed to make it more affordable to buy shares of the iPhone and iPad maker.
The manoeuvre provided a boost even before it was completed. Since the split was announced in late April, Apple's stock has climbed 25 per cent, creating more than US$100 billion in shareholder wealth while the Standard & Poor's 500 edged up just four per cent.
Other factors contributed to the Apple rally: The company raised its quarterly dividend, committed an additional US$30 billion to buying back its stock, struck a US$3-billion deal to buy headphone maker Beats Electronics and previewed its latest software for iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.
But the stock split helped renew investor interest in Apple Inc, already the world's most valuable company.
1. The split could attract more investors
The reason has more to do with psychology than logic. Splits lower a stock's trading price by substantially increasing the number of outstanding shares. Even though the company's market value remains the same, the prospect of a lower price per share often excites investors who previously shied away from a stock because it looked too expensive.
Companies executing splits hope to attract more buyers by making the stock appear more affordable.
Apple executed a 7-for-1 split. That means every Apple stockholder received six additional shares for every share they owned as of June 2. The distribution will increase Apple's outstanding stock from about 861 million shares to about 6 billion shares.
To adjust for that swing, Apple's stock price fell dramatically from Friday's closing price of US$645.57 to US$92.22. On Monday, the shares rose US$1.48 to close at US$93.70.
2. ... And bring apple more prestige
Although it's unclear if this was Apple's intent, the lower price could clear the way for the company to be included among the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The closely watched benchmark is supposed to mirror key sectors of the economy, a role that seems perfectly suited for Apple given the popularity of the company's products and its US$171 billion in annual revenue.
But Apple's high stock price made it impractical to include the company in the Dow. That's because the Dow's value is calculated in a way that gives greater weight to the companies with the highest stock prices. The method has discouraged the Dow Jones selection committee from picking companies with stock prices trading at more than US$300. Visa Inc is the only Dow Jones company with a current stock price above US$200.
Whether Apple will now make it into the Dow Jones is the "US$3-trillion question," says Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst for S&P Indices.
3. Splits are falling out of fashion
Stock splits once seemed reflexive whenever a company's share price neared US$100. In recent years, though, splits have dwindled as companies became more comfortable allowing their stocks to trade for hundreds of dollars.
Even though the overall stock market has been soaring, only 57 splits have been completed since 2009 among companies in the Standard & Poor's 500. That compares with 375 splits from 1997 through 2000, a period that coincided with the dot-com boom.
4. This isn't Apple's first split
Apple has completed 2-for-1 splits on three previous occasions: May 1987, June 2000 and February 2005. The stock rose two per cent in the first year after the 1987 split and surged by 60 per cent in the first year after the 2005 split. The shares plunged 57 per cent in the first year after the 2000 split, which occurred amid a steep downturn in technology stocks.
5. You'll need to adjust the bar
Before the split, the all-time high for Apple's stock stood at US$705.07. With the split, that peak has now been revised to US$100.72. Apple went public in December 1980 at a split-adjusted 39 cents per share.

Brandon was having a great day. He got an "A" on his math test, the girl he likes had said "hi" to him, and for lunch he had an awesome steak sandwich with cheese, peppers, and lots of onions.
But later that afternoon he felt a burning sensation in the back of his throat. His chest and stomach started to hurt, too. Brandon had a mean case of ... indigestion!
Indigestion (say: in-dih-JES-chun) is just another name for an upset stomach. It's also called dyspepsia (say: dis-PEP-shuh).
Indigestion usually happens when people eat too much, too fast, or foods that don't "agree" with them. It's fair to say that big cheesesteak sandwich didn't agree with Brandon!
Brandon had a little heartburn with his indigestion. It doesn't mean there was anything wrong with his heart. Heartburn is a burning feeling that travels from a person's chest up to the neck and throat. It's caused by stomach acid, which isn't a problem unless it gets out of your stomach.
With heartburn, stomach acid splashes up and irritates the esophagus (say: ih-SAH-fuh-gus), the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. This is called esophagealreflux (say: ih-sah-fuh-JEE-ul REE-fluks) and can leave a sour or bitter taste in the person's mouth.
Indigestion and heartburn are common problems for both kids and grownups. That's why you see all those commercials for heartburn and indigestion medicines on TV! But don't take any medicine for indigestion unless your parents or doctor says it's OK. Most of the ones that are advertised on TV are meant for adults, not kids.
Stress, not enough sleep, smoking, or drinking alcohol also can make indigestion worse.
Digestive problems, such as ulcers, can cause the symptoms of indigestion and heartburn, too. But they're not common in kids.
In addition to heartburn, if you have indigestion, you'll probably have one or more of the following symptoms:
Usually, indigestion only happens once in a while, like after eating one too many hot dogs.
But you'll want to see the doctor if you get indigestion even when you're eating healthy foods, exercising, and getting enough sleep.
You may need to be examined, have stomach X-rays or other tests to make sure your indigestion is not the sign of another problem in your digestive tract. Depending on what the doctor finds, you might need to make changes in your diet or take medicine.
Be sure to tell your parent right way if you:
Some people can eat anything and they never get upset stomachs. But other people are more sensitive to food and they might find certain ones just don't agree with them. If you discover one of these foods, it's best not to eat a lot of them or skip them entirely. (For Brandon, the problem was the onions on his cheesesteak!)
In addition to avoiding problem foods, it's a good idea to eat several smaller meals instead of a couple of really big ones. Here are some other tips to prevent indigestion:
You might do all these things, but still get indigestion once in a while. If you do, just remember to say "excuse me" if it makes you burp!

Blind NH sled dog thrives with brother's help
JEFFERSON, N.H. - When Gonzo started tripping over his food dish three years ago, no one could explain or stop the Alaskan husky's quickly advancing blindness. But a veterinarian offered some simple advice: "Run this dog."
Gonzo, one of 120 dogs at Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel, was happy to comply. With help from his brother, Poncho, he soon resumed his place pulling a sled all over New Hampshire's North Country to the delight of tourists and his caretakers, who quickly realized that if Gonzo didn't treat his blindness like an obstacle, neither would they. Given the dog's obvious eagerness, he was allowed to continue on as usual.
"Even though he's blind, he still knows when hook-ups are happening. He's still very aware," said kennel manager Ben Morehouse. "When you have a dog such as Gonzo, with such a want and a drive and a desire ... you try it, you hook up, you see what happens."
A frenzy of excited barking engulfs the kennel whenever Morehouse and other staffers haul out a sled. The chosen team is outfitted with harnesses and booties; those left behind scramble onto their doghouse roofs and howl. Gonzo and Poncho are lined up side-by-side, usually toward the back of the eight-member team - "brains to brawn" is how Morehouse describes the order.
"A lot of people say everything about dog sledding is efficiency. Gonzo and Poncho are not the most efficient sled dogs out there. They won't set a speed record, they won't pull the most you've ever seen," Morehouse said. "To be honest, they're probably some of the goofiest dogs you can put in harness. But they're just fun."
Some dogs at the kennel, including Gonzo and Poncho, were born there. But it's also home to what kennel owner Neil Beaulieu calls "second-chance" dogs - former professional sled dogs a bit past their prime - as well as dogs rescued from bad situations.
The barking continues as the dogs pull away from the kennel onto a snow-packed trail. Within a few minutes, however, they settle into a nearly silent rhythm, the sled's runners skimming through the woods. While the other dogs look straight ahead, Gonzo often lifts his head up and to the right, using his hearing and sense of smell, said Karen Tolin, who has worked her way up from volunteer "poop scooper" to business partner in the years since she first came to Muddy Paw.
When Gonzo first went blind, Poncho didn't treat him any different, she said. But then he realized his brother needed help.
"At first, he'd be a little bit nervous when Gonzo would lean into him. And then somehow - I don't know how dogs communicate - he learned that he was utilizing him to determine where the turns are and how fast they were going. And he would let him do that - he wouldn't get as grumbly as he did in the beginning."
Usually if a dog trips, the others just keep going, Morehouse said.
I've never seen it with any other dog," he said. "There's definitely a bond there and communication beyond what we do with the two dogs, between the two of them themselves."
Beaulieu describes a spring day when he took the pair for a ride on a trail known for its deep snow, and Gonzo strayed to the edge of the trial and stumbled. With the team still moving forward, Poncho reached over, dug his head in the snow and pulled his brother out, grabbing his harness with his teeth.
"He essentially picked him out of the powder ... threw him back on the trail and never skipped a beat," Beaulieu said. "I've run dogs in a lot of places, all over the country, and it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen sled dogs do."
Beaulieu, a high school teacher, was living in Alaska 10 years ago when he volunteered to help out with the famed 1,000-mile Iditarod dog sled race. He was taking care of a team of dogs after their owner dropped out of the race, and somehow got talked into giving them a permanent home after the woman told him she never wanted to see a sled dog again.
Beaulieu grew up in Maine and had worked as a registered Maine Guide for more than a dozen years before heading to Alaska to teach. He knew nothing about sled dogs when he acquired his first team, but ended up starting his own business after moving to New Hampshire and helping a friend who ran tours from a local hotel.
"I had fun with it. I didn't think I would, but I did," he said. "And the dogs absolutely loved all the socialization and belly rubs and meeting all kinds of new people."
Sled tours range from 20-minute trips from the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods to a 50-mile overnighter billed as the "Longest Dog Sled Ride in the Northeast." Money from the tours help support what Beaulieu says has become a main focus - finding loving homes for dogs that might otherwise be killed.
"It's become much more than just a sled dog kennel," Beaulieu said. "A lot of shelters deem sled dogs unadoptable, and they put them down. For myself and the entire crew here, we know that's false. They are very adoptable."
Sled dogs do best with active families, he said, but that could mean regular hikes and long walks - not necessarily full-throttle running adventures. The kennel staff offers training in running, skiing and biking while hitched to a dog. Adoptive families are given phone and email support.
"Every time I run these dogs, whether it's Gonzo or anybody, I'm still in awe of the ability of these animals," Beaulieu said. "It's just amazing."

Street work planned in 22 spots this year
Twenty-two sections of Kewanee streets will be fixed this year, after the City Council approved a $330,000 appropriation for this summer's Motor Fuel Tax street maintenance program.
Motor Fuel Taxes are part of the state gasoline tax that is rebated to local governments to help pay for their street and road maintenance.
In this year's Kewanee program are:
Single seal (one layer of oil and stone) are scheduled for Stokes Street from Grove Street 280 feet east, and Prospect Street from East Street to Otley Avenue.
Scheduled for double seal (two layers of oil and stone) are Knox Street from Dodge to Miner, Stokes Street 590 feet west from Park Street, Whitney Avenue from Mill Street to the alley, Garfield Street between Dwight and Edwards streets and Monroe Street from Lake Street to June Street.
Ditching is planned along Garfield Street from Willard Street to Dwight Street.
An asphalt overlay will be applied to Rice Street from Sixth Street to the Baker Park entrance, Boss Street from Rose Street to the railroad tracks, Grove Street from Second Street to the railroad tracks and from Commercial Street to the tracks, Hollis Street from Church to McClure, Edwards Street from McClure to Garfield, Burr Boulevard from Third Street to the dead end and Lakeview Avenue from Rollins Street to Lake Street.
Patching is planned on Tenney Street at McClure Street and between Mill and Church streets, Dwight Street between Church and Mill and between McClure and Garfield, Walnut Street between Oak and Lyle streets and Grace Avenue between Fifth and Sixth streets.
Since the council approved the appropriation at Monday's meeting, city officials hope for Illinois Department of Transportation approval of the program in time for a mid-April bid date.
"I believe that this would translate into the best bid prices we could hope for, as contractors will be trying to line up work for this summer," City Engineer Steve Bruner wrote in a memo to City Manager Kip Spear on the street program.

The Washington Nationals will begin taking registrations this morning for single-game tickets to just one home series — the May 4-6 games vs. the Philadelphia Phillies at Nationals Park.
The catch? You have to live in DC, Maryland, or Virginia.
The move was announced this morning on MLB.com, where the Nats have posted a registration page to request your tickets.
Nats CEO Andy Feffer explained that the move was a response to the busloads of Phillies fans who've filled Nationals Park from advanced group ticket sales, and engaged in disruptive behavior.
"For several years now, our fans, everybody, have been screaming about the number of Phillies fans that invade our park when we have a series here at Nationals Park," Feffer told MLB.com's Bill Ladson. "Frankly, I'm tired of seeing the Phillies fans in our ballpark in Washington more than anything. We sat down as a group and we said, 'You know what? It's time to take our park back in Washington and get our fans in this park.'
Fans who register for tickets here will get an email with an invitation to purchase up to 8 individual tickets. The registration information used must match the billing address for your payment card, which must be in DC, Virginia, or Maryland.
The series includes the Nationally-broadcast ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game on May 6.
Great move Mr. Feffer!

"Shame on us", Obama says, "if we've forgotten. I haven't forgotten those kids." He was referring, it seems, to kids killed in Connecticut by a lunatic, not to the 84 kids confirmed dead by drone fire ordered by Barack Hussein Obama, who is supposedly sane and responsible. Has he forgotten those kids?
